This is a wall-sleeve heat pump air conditioner and heater for hotel rooms, apartments, coastal properties, or additions where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and homeowners near seacoast environments who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling with added corrosion protection.
The PMH093J25CXXX is a DigiAIR-series packaged terminal heat pump (PTHP) built for hospitality and multifamily properties, additions, and coastal installations where per-room, self-contained climate control is required. This configuration pairs an 8,700 BTU heat pump with a 2.5/2.1 kW electric auxiliary heat strip for supplemental heating below the heat pump's balance point, and carries Feature Code C corrosion protection for seacoast exposure. Performance ratings reflect the manufacturer's published EER and COP figures for the 230V/208V dual-voltage chassis. Note: If you would like to review the manufacturer Product Specifications, Warranty, Brochure, etc., for this system, please refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page.
Critical Fit & Power Requirements
- Wall sleeve opening required: industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high.
- Voltage: 230/208V dual-rated chassis.
- Amperage: total electric heat draw of 11.2A (230V) / 10.1A (208V); MCA 14.1A; MOP (max breaker) 15A.
- NEMA Plug Type: 6-15P factory-installed cord, LCDI-equipped per UL 484 (applies to all units under 250V).
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — order separately (e.g., Amana WS900E standard sleeve or WS900SC seacoast triple-protected sleeve).
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — order separately (SGK stamped, AGK extruded aluminum, or PGK polymer grille).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V circuits — the 265V commercial version of this chassis is the PMH094J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A. This 230/208V unit is not a substitute.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings outside 42 in x 16-1/16 in.
Seacoast-protected chassis like this one are usually specified because the property sits close to salt air, and salt-laden moisture in the sleeve compounds condensate drainage problems fast. Even with corrosion-resistant coils, a sleeve that's level or pitched toward the building will pool condensate against the drywall and accelerate rust on the sleeve's steel flange. Set the sleeve with a 1/4-bubble pitch toward the exterior using a torpedo level before framing it in — this is the manufacturer's stated tolerance, not a guideline. On seacoast jobs, pair the pitch check with the WS900SC triple-protected sleeve rather than a standard WS900E; mixing a standard sleeve with a corrosion-protected chassis defeats half the protection strategy. Document the pitch measurement in the property's maintenance file — many hospitality PM programs require it as part of PTAC/PTHP commissioning sign-off.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation (7,800/7,600 BTU/h heating) reduces reliance on electric resistance heat in moderate outdoor temperatures, with 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat as backup below the heat pump's effective range.
- EER of 12.4/12.5 and COP of 3.6/3.6 reflect efficient compressor operation at rated conditions.
- Fresh air ventilation CFM of 25-35 supports make-up air exchange in sealed guest rooms.
- Feature Code C seacoast corrosion protection extends service life in coastal and high-salinity environments.
- R-32 refrigerant (lower GWP than legacy refrigerants) per manufacturer catalog note.
- Single-stage 15A circuit design (MOP) simplifies electrical planning for standard 230/208V receptacles.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Compatible with 230/208V circuits via NEMA 6-15P plug.
- Fits standard 42-inch x 16-1/16-inch wall sleeve openings (Amana WS900E, WS900SC, and compatible sleeve series).
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — must be ordered separately.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This chassis fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening, such as the Amana WS900E or WS900SC (seacoast triple protected) sleeve.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 230/208V configuration with the 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip has an MCA of 14.1A and requires a 15A (MOP) circuit. It ships with a factory-installed 6-15P power cord and, per UL 484, an LCDI power cord since it operates under 250V.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This is a 230/208V model, not a 265V unit. 265V applications require the 265V-specific sibling chassis (PMH094J) paired with an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A. Do not attempt to hardwire this 230/208V model as a 265V substitute.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] — exact installation/warranty conditions are not confirmed in the provided specification data. Refer to the manufacturer warranty document in the Resources tab for definitive installation requirements.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
